Title: [SIGT] pool mining a fork? We mined three consecutive orphan blocks then...

It looks like this pool I'm a part of has forked from the main blockchain? https://mining-enthusiasts.net/sig/index.php?page=statistics&action=blocks

They mined three consecutive orphan blocks. Then they mined every block in the chain since block 86285? Network latency? Blocks are being mined too quickly? Someone trying to reverse transactions? This is a screen shot of the blocks when things started going wacky: https://i.imgur.com/UANnYbF.png

Now it's mining tons of low difficulty blocks:  https://i.imgur.com/z1ay4dv.png

Some of the first blocks in the fork are getting 60+ confirmations. Is it possible that this coin could split into two "permanent" versions? Should I cut and run? Hold the course?

Thoughts? Thanks!
